Kanglin Wang (Shell) discusses how to improve time-lapse (4D) seismic with novel water statics processing involving a seafloor device called PIES. A well known challenge in marine 4D processing is the non-repeatability introduced by water velocity and tidal variations during a survey and between different surveys. PIES provides direct measurement and continuous monitoring of these water properties and greatly reduces the uncertainties in timing and positioning of seismic data.

Just as microphones collect sound in the air, underwater hydrophones detect acoustic signals in the ocean. Most hydrophones are based on a special property (piezoelecticity) of certain ceramics that produce a small electrical current when subjected to pressure changes. When submerged in water, a ceramic hydrophone produces small-voltage signals over a wide range of frequencies as it is exposed to underwater sounds propagating from any direction. By amplifying and recording the electrical signals produced by a hydrophone, sound in the sea can be measured with great precision. Although a single hydrophone records sound arriving from any direction, several hydrophones can be simultaneously deployed in an array, and the resulting signals can then be manipulated to “listen” in any direction wit...

QPS Multispectral Backscatter Acquisition and Processing Webinar

In the recent release of Fledermaus 7.7.8, we implemented yet more multispectral backscatter processsing capability. Following on from this effort, QPS hosted a special webinar to review these new capabilities. In this webinar, we reviewed the basics about this emerging technology and we explored how to process the data in our geocoder implementation, FMGT. We looked upstream in the QPS workflow to see how QINSy and Qimera can play a role in acquisition and bathymetric processing. We also looked downstream in the QPS workflow to see how Fledermaus can be used for presentation, analysis and sharing of results.

This is the story of British arms manufacturer Vickers and Supermarine, manufacturer of the Spitfire. At the end of WW2, when the Nazis where already flying swept winged jet fighters like the Me262 and rocket planes like the Me163, the British where still flying their famous Spitfire !
Vickers was formed in Sheffield as a steel foundry by the miller Edward Vickers and his father-in-law George Naylor in 1828. Naylor was a partner in the foundry Naylor & Sanderson and Vickers' brother William owned a steel rolling operation. Edward's investments in the railway industry allowed him to gain control of the company, based at Millsands and known as Naylor Vickers and Company. It began life making steel castings and quickly became famous for casting church bells. In 1854 Vickers' sons Thomas and ...

Just as microphones collect sound in the air, underwater hydrophones detect acoustic signals in the ocean.

When submerged in water, a ceramic hydrophone produces small-voltage signals over a wide range of frequencies as it is exposed to underwater sounds propagating from any direction. By amplifying and recording the electrical signals produced by a hydrophone, sound in the sea can be measured with great precision. Although a single hydrophone records sound arriving from any direction, several hydrophones can be simultaneously deployed in an array, and the resulting signals can then be manipulated to “listen” in any direction with even greater sensitivity than a single hydrophone element. Whether within an array or as a single element, the hydrophone is the basic sensor of underwater acoustics.
Currently, several technologies are available for acoustic exploration of the ocean. For decades, the U.S. Navy has used a device called a sonobuoy to record the sound of enemy submarines. This simple device can be deployed either from an aircraft or a surface ship. The sonobuoy includes a single underwater hydrophone and a radio transmitter to send the recorded signals back to the aircraft or ship. By deploying a pattern of sonobuoys, the location of the “target” can be determined. Sonobuoys have been used in ocean exploration as well, e.g., to record marine mammal calls and listen for earthquake activity, but the short life span of the device (a few hrs) prohibits long-term monitoring.
A much more expensive, but permanent, technology for acoustic exploration is the installation of a hydrophone array connected to an underwater communications cable. Since the 1960s, the U.S. Navy has operated such a SOund SUrveillance System (SOSUS) for military applications in many areas of the world ocean. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Navy offered the civilian scientific community “dual use” of SOSUS to evaluate its value in ocean environmental monitoring. Since 1991, NOAA has successfully used these arrays to detect submarine volcanic eruptions in the northeast Pacific and blue whale movements in the same area. The range of the system is such that volcanic tremors from south of Japan have been successfully detected and located using SOSUS arrays deployed off the coasts of Oregon and Washington. Access to SOSUS is restricted, both in the sense that the data are classified and can only be used in a secure facility, and also by the fact that the arrays are deployed only in areas of military need. The cabled nature of SOSUS allows real-time acquisition of the acoustic data, but at a high cost; the total investment in SOSUS is estimated at more than $16 billion. .

Visit our website: http://www.automatemarine.com In 1960, the U.S.Maritime Administration developed a 10 target automatic radar plotter with manual and guard ring automatic acquisition, true and relative vectors, and with collision threat alarms and a trial
maneuver capability. In 1971, MARAD made this type of "computer aided"
plotter mandatory on all MARAD subsidized tankers. Sperry developed a 20
target, manual acquisition, predicted area of danger plotting equipment and
lotron developed DIGIPLOT, which plotted 40 target vectors with fully
automatic all area acquisition of the targets. IBM introduced their MaritimeIntegratedBridgeSystem that was automatic acquisition of 20 targets and included TransitSatellite Navigation and an Adaptive fuel saving autopilot for improved steering.
The International Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) deliberated
over two years on the United States proposal for mandatory carriage of
"MARAD equivalent" automatic radar plotters on all vessels above 10,000
grt. In November 1979, a minimum standard was agreed upon, as well as a
worldwide fitting schedule, starting in January 1984 and continuing over a
five year period, depending on vessel type and size. The original 1960
MARAD prototype could probably meet the IMCO standard with only minor
changes, mainly including the addition of 4 history dots with coice of 1 or 2 minute spacing. This concept showed up as an indicator of other surrounding vessels course and speed but was too slow to be considered as a useful maneuvering aid in traffic and the USCG adapted the Digiplot less than 15 second prompt course calculation to take forward to the IMO for the minimuum standard ARP on a radar PPI display.
The IMCO 10 target minimum operational ARPA standard set requirements for an aid
which will prevent collisions at sea and in relatively open ocean waters.
Although the systems are also intended to function approaching or leaving
harbors; the minimum IMCO standard does not require the radar plotting
equipment to work in high traffic density or in narrow waters or restricted
waterways when pilots would normally be aboard and added a second higher standard for 20 targets that could provide an indication of the direction of othr vessels in one minute and a fully very accurate course and speed to tight specified tolerances in four close passings..
The technology is now available today and is a much lower priced third generation
system whose ARPA calculated vectors are displayed on an e-chart, exceeding the IMCO minimum standards by a factor of 6 that now offers the potential for aiding a pilot in the safe navigation of the vessel in and out of harbors in dense traffic and in restricted waterways, are currently on the market. Now DIGIPLOT is the only example now resuming production. http://www.automatemarine.com

This is the story of British arms manufacturer Vickers and Supermarine, manufacturer of the Spitfire. At the end of WW2, when the Nazis where already flying swept winged jet fighters like the Me262 and rocket planes like the Me163, the British where still flying their famous Spitfire !
Vickers was formed in Sheffield as a steel foundry by the miller Edward Vickers and his father-in-law George Naylor in 1828. Naylor was a partner in the foundry Naylor & Sanderson and Vickers' brother William owned a steel rolling operation. Edward's investments in the railway industry allowed him to gain control of the company, based at Millsands and known as Naylor Vickers and Company. It began life making steel castings and quickly became famous for casting church bells. In 1854 Vickers' sons Thomas and Albert joined the business and their considerable talents – Tom Vickers as a metallurgist and Albert as a team-builder and salesman – were key to its subsequent rapid development. In 1863 the company moved to a new site in Sheffield on the River Don in Brightside.The company went public in 1867 as Vickers, Sons & Company and gradually acquired more businesses, branching out into various sectors. In 1868 Vickers began to manufacture marine shafts, in 1872 they began casting marine propellers and in 1882 they set up a forging press. Vickers produced their first armour plate in 1888 and their first artillery piece in 1890.Vickers bought out the Barrow-in-Furness shipbuilder The Barrow Shipbuilding Company in 1897, acquiring its subsidiary the MaximNordenfeltGuns and Ammunition Company. At the same time, to become Vickers, Sons & Maxim.The yard at Barrow became the "Naval ConstructionYard". With these acquisitions, Vickers could now produce a complete selection of products, from ships and marine fittings to armour plate and a whole suite of ordnance. In 1901 the Royal Navy's first submarine, Holland 1, was launched at the Naval Construction Yard. In 1902 Vickers took a half share in the famous Clyde shipyard John Brown and Company. Further diversification occurred in 1901 with the acquisition of a proposed business which was incorporated as The WolseleyTool and Motor Car Company and in 1905 the goodwill and patent rights of the Siddeley car. In 1911 a controlling interest was acquired in Whitehead and Company, the torpedo manufacturers.In 1911 the company name was changed to Vickers Ltd and expanded its operations into aircraft manufacture by the formation of Vickers Ltd (Aviation Department) and a Vickers School of Flying was opened at Brooklands, Surrey on 20 January 1912. Vickers merged with the Tyneside based engineering company Armstrong Whitworth, founded by W. G. Armstrong, to become Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd. Armstrong Whitworth had developed along similar lines to Vickers, expanding into various military sectors and was notable for their artillery manufacture at Elswick and shipbuilding at a yard at High Walker on the River Tyne. Armstrongs shipbuilding interests became the "Naval Yard", those of Vickers on the west coast the "Naval Construction Yard". Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft was not absorbed by the new company.In 1928 the Aviation Department became Vickers (Aviation) Ltd and soon after acquired Supermarine, which became the "Supermarine AviationWorks (Vickers) Ltd". In 1938, both companies were re-organised as Vickers-Armstrongs (Aircraft) Ltd, although the former Supermarine and Vickers works continued to brand their products under their former names. In 1960 the aircraft interests were merged with those of the Bristol, English Electric Company and Hunting Aircraft to form the British Aircraft Corporation. This was owned by Vickers, English Electric and Bristol (holding 40%, 40% and 20% respectively). In 1986, Vickers acquired the armaments manufacturer Royal Ordnance Factory, Leeds, which became Vickers Defence Systems. 1998 saw the sale of Rolls-Royce Motors and Cosworth to Volkswagen Group for £430 million, beating out BMW's offer of £340 million.Vickers remained independent until 1999 when the then Vickers plc was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc. The Vickers name lived on in Alvis Vickers, until the latter was acquired by BAE Systems in 2004 to form BAE Systems Land Systems.BAE Systems announced on 31 May 2012 that the ex Vickers Defence Systems factory on ScotswoodRoad, Newcastle would close at the end of 2013.

Kanglin Wang (Shell) discusses how to improve time-lapse (4D) seismic with novel water statics processing involving a seafloor device called PIES. A well known challenge in marine 4D processing is the non-repeatability introduced by water velocity and tidal variations during a survey and between different surveys. PIES provides direct measurement and continuous monitoring of these water properties and greatly reduces the uncertainties in timing and positioning of seismic data.

Just as microphones collect sound in the air, underwater hydrophones detect acoustic signals in the ocean. Most hydrophones are based on a special property (piezoelecticity) of certain ceramics that produce a small electrical current when subjected to pressure changes. When submerged in water, a ceramic hydrophone produces small-voltage signals over a wide range of frequencies as it is exposed to underwater sounds propagating from any direction. By amplifying and recording the electrical signals produced by a hydrophone, sound in the sea can be measured with great precision. Although a single hydrophone records sound arriving from any direction, several hydrophones can be simultaneously deployed in an array, and the resulting signals can then be manipulated to “listen” in any direction with even greater sensitivity than a single hydrophone element. Whether within an array or as a single element, the hydrophone is the basic sensor of underwater acoustics.
Currently, several technologies are available for acoustic exploration of the ocean. For decades, the U.S. Navy has used a device called a sonobuoy to record the sound of enemy submarines. This simple device can be deployed either from an aircraft or a surface ship. The sonobuoy includes a single underwater hydrophone and a radio transmitter to send the recorded signals back to the aircraft or ship. By deploying a pattern of sonobuoys, the location of the “target” can be determined. Sonobuoys have been used in ocean exploration as well, e.g., to record marine mammal calls and listen for earthquake activity, but the short life span of the device (a few hrs) prohibits long-term monitoring.
A much more expensive, but permanent, technology for acoustic exploration is the installation of a hydrophone array connected to an underwater communications cable. Since the 1960s, the U.S. Navy has operated such a SOund SUrveillance System (SOSUS) for military applications in many areas of the world ocean. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Navy offered the civilian scientific community “dual use” of SOSUS to evaluate its value in ocean environmental monitoring. Since 1991, NOAA has successfully used these arrays to detect submarine volcanic eruptions in the northeast Pacific and blue whale movements in the same area. The range of the system is such that volcanic tremors from south of Japan have been successfully detected and located using SOSUS arrays deployed off the coasts of Oregon and Washington. Access to SOSUS is restricted, both in the sense that the data are classified and can only be used in a secure facility, and also by the fact that the arrays are deployed only in areas of military need. The cabled nature of SOSUS allows real-time acquisition of the acoustic data, but at a high cost; the total investment in SOSUS is estimated at more than $16 billion. .
